Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, red onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, mint, salt, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to check that their internal temperature has reached 160℉.
